UPNP Bandwidth Monitoring

Hi,

I am still running 22.1.10_4 on a Protectli FW4B with 2 WAN interfaces (Starlink and a local wireless ISP).

I use PeakHour 4 as a bandwidth monitor.  I used to get great high resolution graphs of my bandwidth usage using a UPNP monitoring target at this address (http://192.168.191.1:2189/rootDesc.xml).  I'm not sure why this no longer works.  I can still pull that address up fine in my browser but don't see any bandwidth counters.  It seems that it does talk to it as it pulls up "FreeBSD router" as the device name but the rest says:

Responding to queries - no
Reporting bandwidth - no
High-Capacity counters -no

I am able to monitor via SNMP but the graphing is much less detailed than it was over UPNP.  Was functionality removed at some point?  Is it ever going to come back?

So I guess there is no problem after all.  I put in a rule to allow connection to that URL after doing setup for failover and apparently it just took some time to function properly with my monitoring software.  Not sure why but when I came in the next morning, it was working.
